re: Peter King claims Sean Payton is on the hotseat

Exactly! Peter King said nothing about a "hot seat". Payton is just waiting a "respectable" number of seasons after the suspension (and Benson's loyalty) to leave New Orleans. Unless the Saints go to the Superbowl and they probably won't even make the playoffs - Payton will leave on his own and will NOT be fired. He's probably sick that Dallas might do okay this year because that's the job he planned to move into next year. We had a few "elite" years, but with "bountygate" - Goodell's perfect distractions of the team and its image - and the clear drop in the level of high quality players, thus speeding the aging of Brees - it's over and we're back to an 8-8 team.
